Sunflower #1 (imported French paper, archival glue – 48″ in diameter)

Michele Tremblay has years of experience as both a fine artist and a floral designer, and she has brought these two worlds together to create “My Delightful Mission”, a collection of elegantly crafted, large scale paper flower sculptures.

Each scuplture is made from exquisite, imported archival paper that Michele bends, twists, cuts, folds, colors, and glues to create her beautiful paper flowers. From the ethereal beauty of Diaphanous to the lash-like stamen of Tiger Flower, the love and care put into these pieces shows in each small detail.

Check out these awesome prints from Trophy Lives, a collection of limited edition letterpress art prints from The Hungry Workshop and a group of incredibly talented Melbourne, Australia-based illustrators and designers. There are so many fun details to look at in each print, and I’m really digging the bright color palettes, too. Each limited edition print is hand numbered and signed by the artist.

Gumo Cards + Prints

August 15, 2012 // kristen // 0 replies

I am totally digging these fun, illustrated art prints and cards by the UK’s Sally and Andrew, a.k.a. gumo. Their collection of cards features gumo’s super cool illustrations along with sentiments for birthdays, baby, and more. And their fantastic alphabet and art prints would look wonderful in a nursery or child’s room, though I have to say that I would totally hang them in my office, too. Head on over to the gumo gallery to see all of their illustrated paper goodies.

Mark and Zoe, the Scotland-based duo also known as Mr. & Mrs. Yoke, create hand screen printed paper goods, tea towels, and bags that are instant, visual pick-me-ups. Their fun collection recently grew to include even more wonderful greeting cards and art prints (psst, a great gift idea) in a palette of sunny yellow, hot pink, electric teal, and bright orange, and these delightful goodies will surely bring a smile to the face of anyone lucky enough to receive them.
